SPRING FOR PILLOWS, CUSHI ONS, 80C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 691,065, dated January 14, 1902.

Application filed deptember 24 1901. Serial No. 76,348. (No model.)

To (tZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH H. MASLAND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Springs for A cool Well-ventilated pillow for use on a.

hammock,'which can easily be detached for use on couch or bed or for the purpose of cleaning the cover, is desired, and this object I have attained by my invention.

By this invention I secure a pillow or cushion having a great degree of elasticity or resilience and at the same time not only a headrest, but by reason of the lateral coils I secure a support for the neck and shoulders, which adds greatly to the comfort of the user and the usefulness of the pillow or cushion.

My invention consists of a spring for pillows or cushions formed of a section of woven, plaited, or braided wire folded into two parts, so that when the opposite sides of the folded piece are turned under and coiled toward one another in opposite directions in one or more convolutions the top is separated from the bottom and a pocket is formed, into which I insert and attach thereto as many spiral springs as may be necessary to increase the degree of elasticity or resiliency secured by the lateral coils.

These springs may be of any size or shape and may be covered with fabric of any degree of fineness.

Woven wire ready to be folded into two parts,

prior to rolling or coiling the ends thereof into a spring. I

In Fig. 2, A A represent the woven-wire curved top or body and the material of the coils of the spring, which extend on both sides thereof throughout its whole length. B B

represent the coils on each side of the body. 0 0 represent the spiral springs inserted into the spring-pocket D D.

In Fig. 3 is shown an end view of a section of the spring, in. which A is the material composing the body of the spring. B B represent the coils or convolutions of the top extending along both sides of and under the body. D D represent the pocket formed by coiling the material composing the body and coils, and 0 indicates the spiral spring inserted into this pocket.

I claim as my invention- A pillow or cushion spring of woven wire having a pocket formed by folding the woven wire into two sections, and coiling or rolling the opposite edges of the doubled Wire into convolutions, with spiral springs inserted in the pocket, substantially as and for. the purpose described.
